In a change to the current plan, I now intend to make this fan script the basis for a short form “pitch pilot” for a potential fan-made Inspector Gadget film
This scene occurs shortly after John Smith (Gadget) is injured when attempting to thwart a robbery
BRENDA:
You’re Quimby, the police chief?
CHIEF QUIMBY:
Doctor Bradford, I am so sorry to hear about your father, he was a fine man, and an essential asset to this city’s…
BRENDA:
…Gadgetini programme, I know, I know. My dad’s murder isn’t important right now, the condition of your operative is.
QUIMBY:
How is he Doctor?
BRENDA:
Stable, but he’s lost a lot of function in most of his body. With your permission, I would like to try my hand at some experimental surgery utilizing the best resources of the Bradtech facilities
QUIMBY:
Wait a minute, you want to dummy run the Gadgetini programme on a live human being?
BRENDA:
That HAS always been the intention behind the programme, to install bionics into working human tissue, and it’d be no ‘dummy run’ , this procedure would result in permanent results.
QUIMBY:
I know all about you and your father’s frankenstiening Doctor….
BRENDA:
Oh, I hate that word
QUIMBY:
The city may be bleeding every budget in funding it, but not everyone approves. I don’t want to count myself among them, but this is a man’s life you’re gambling with.
BRENDA:
Your operative tried to save my father’s life last night Chief, this is the least I can do for him. You may call it ‘frankenstiening’, I call it a helping hand…and a leg, and a limb…
QUIMBY:
Any other good news you’d like to share?
BRENDA:
There was significant damage done to the central parts of the brain, we’ve tried minimizing the extent of the injury’s impact , but I’m afraid even with the repairs, he may have a lack of…discipline in regard to cohesive thought.
QUIMBY:
You trying to tell me my best cop is retarded or something?
BRENDA:
Oh I hate that word also
(A sudden commotion soon interrupts their conversation, they turn around to find a YOUNG GIRL with BLONDE PIGTAILS and a RED AND WHITE shirt struggling to advance towards them, and being restrained by orderlies)
QUIMBY:
Who’s that?
BRENDA:
Mr. Smith’s niece. He talked about her often
(The niece resists attempts to calm her down, a doctor tries restraining her, she will have none of it)
MALE DOCTOR:
He’s in surgery young lady, you can’t see him
NIECE:
Let me go
(Quimby turns back to Brenda)
QUIMBY:
Let me deal with this, inform me of further progress
BRENDA:
Yes Chief
(He approaches the girl)
QUIMBY:
You’re, John’s niece, right?
PENNY:
Penny. Penny Smith.
QUIMBY:
Listen Penny, your Uncle’s really sick, we’re trying to make him better, but this little fit of yours isn’t making anything better.
PENNY:
I should have went with him that night, me and B.R.A.I.N could have…
QUIMBY:
Brain?
PENNY:
Dog. My dog. B.R.A.I.N is my dog. Totally.
